  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE049 - Entry & & is not contained in Table TKENR - system error ?

    The SAP error message KE049 indicates that there is an issue with the entry not being found in the table TKENR, which is related to the controlling (CO) module in SAP. This error typically occurs when you are trying to post a transaction or access a controlling object that does not exist or is not properly configured in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Entry: The specific entry you are trying to access (e.g., a cost center, internal order, or profit center) is not present in the TKENR table.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The controlling area or the relevant master data may not be set up correctly.
    3. Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, possibly due to changes in configuration or data migration issues.
    4. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the required data.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Entry: Verify that the entry you are trying to use exists in the TKENR table. You can do this by using transaction SE16 or SE11 to view the contents of the TKENR table.

    3. Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks for your controlling objects to ensure that there are no discrepancies. This can often be done through transaction codes like KAH3 (for cost centers) or KO03 (for internal orders).
    4. Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the controlling objects. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
